Before, Lu Ming had broken through from the first Godly Emperor Layer to the second Godly Emperor Layer, so he had consumed a lot of potential. Now, his cells only had twenty percent left.
Therefore, Lu Ming had to refine a total of three thousand and two hundred roots to fill up the potential stored in his cells.
"The Spiritual Wood Hearts are being consumed too quickly!"
Lu Ming's face turned dark as he sighed.
Before, he had obtained fifty thousand Spiritual Wood Hearts from the Elven Clan. He had thought that he would be able to use them for a long time, but now it seemed like he had underestimated the consumption of the Godly Emperor Layer.
The consumption of the Forbidden Body when breaking through to the Godly Emperor Layer was much higher than he had expected.
Fifty thousand Spiritual Wood Hearts were not enough for him to break through to the ninth Godly Emperor Layer.
However, the Elven Clan still owed him a hundred thousand Spiritual Wood Hearts. If he could get them, he wouldn't have to worry about breaking through to the Godly Emperor Layer.
At the same time, Lu Ming thought of another problem, the Zephyr Pearl.
Lu Ming realized that the Zephyr Pearl's energy had decreased a lot.
After all, the Zephyr Wind in the Zephyr Pearl was limited, it wasn't endless and it couldn't be replenished automatically.
Even though the Zephyr Wind in the Pearl could destroy a galaxy, it was still limited.
Lu Ming had been using the Zephyr Pearl too much recently.
Each time, the Zephyr Pearl's strength was close to the ninth Godly Emperor Layer.
Using the Zephyr Wind of the ninth Godly Emperor Layer consumed a lot of energy.
A cultivator of the first Godly Emperor Layer could destroy a planet with his full strength. A cultivator of the first Godly Emperor Layer could destroy a planet with his full strength.
A cultivator of the ninth Godly Emperor Layer could destroy a planet with his full strength. That required a lot of Zephyr Wind.
Lu Ming realized that the Zephyr Wind in the Zephyr Pearl had been consumed by about ten percent.
It didn't feel like ninety percent was a lot. As Lu Ming's cultivation level increased, the Zephyr Wind of the Zephyr Pearl would be consumed very quickly.
If the Zephyr Wind was consumed, the Zephyr Pearl would be useless.
"Forget it. After all, it's an external object. If it's used up, it's gone!"
Lu Ming, on the other hand, was very open-minded. As long as it could be of use now, it was fine.
When the potential of his cells reached 100%, Lu Ming began to comprehend the Great Devil Sword Art.
The Great Devil Sword Art was already close to being a beginner. He was just one step away from being able to turn it into a secret skill rune and fuse it with his cells.
Therefore, his cultivation speed was also very fast.
In just half a year's time, Lu Ming had cultivated the Great Devil Sword Art to the entry level. He transformed it into a secret technique rune and fused it with a cell.
With a thought, Lu Ming circulated the Great Devil Sword Art. Instantly, a devil sword appeared in his hand. It was incomparably sharp, and its might was shocking. It could easily break apart divine weapons.
At the peak of his strength, dozens of demonic swords appeared around his body, ready to strike at any moment.
"There's one more way to attack!"
Lu Ming smiled faintly. He wasn't too surprised.
After all, the Great God Wind Technique and the Great Shattering Technique were both offensive techniques. They were more mature and powerful.
After cultivating the Great Devil Sword Art, Lu Ming began to comprehend the ordinary devil path's secret techniques.
In the Myriad Tombs, he had obtained the devil path's secret techniques left behind by the bone demon. There were about 300 types. Previously, Lu Ming had taken some time to comprehend some, but he hadn't finished comprehending them yet. Now that he had some free time, he wanted to comprehend them properly. He transformed them all into secret skill runes and fused them with his cells.
After cultivating to this point, Lu Ming discovered that the more secret techniques he cultivated, the more secret skill runes would fuse into his cells. The power of the taboo force would also be stronger.
It wasn't an increase in quantity, but in 'quality'.
He was still far from cultivating the taboo force to the peak.
Now, his speed of comprehending ordinary secret techniques was very fast.
In more than two years, he had successfully comprehended hundreds of secret techniques. They transformed into secret skill runes and fused into his cells. Lu Ming's strength had increased slightly.
After cultivating for a few more months, the three-year period was finally up.
Those who participated in the test, as long as they didn't die, had all returned to the city.
However, Lu Ming discovered that the number of people had decreased by half.
In other words, half of them had died in the dark universe, becoming food for the fiends.
When the Sky Official gathered them, Lu Ming discovered that cold gazes swept over him. They were from the angels.
Lu Ming sneered in response. The angels' expressions turned ugly, and killing intent flashed in their eyes.
"Alright, the dark universe's test is over. I'll now bring you back to Dreamsky City. Go to the Merit Well and check your merit points!"
After the Sky Official announced this, he led everyone back to Dreamsky City.
Within Dreamsky City, there was a Merit Hall. The Merit Well was located within the Merit Hall.
In the center of the Merit Department, there was a golden well. From the mouth of the well, a faint light filled the air. This was the Well of Merit. As long as an abyssal spirit blood was poured into the Well of Merit, the Well of Merit would naturally calculate the corresponding merit points.
"All you need to do is pour the fiend's spirit blood into the Merit Well, then place the jade talisman given to you by the Heavenly Palace above the Merit Well. The Merit Well will naturally calculate your merit points and record them in the jade talisman!
"Only those with five thousand merit points can be considered to have passed the Heavenly Soldier test and become an official Heavenly Soldier, and a third-class one at that!"
The Sky Official said.
"Lord Sky Official, how many merit points do we need to become a second-class Heavenly Soldier?"
Someone asked.
Many of the people here came from various major races. Many of their elders had joined the Heavenly Soldier before.
However, the Heavenly Palace had strict rules. After leaving the Heavenly Soldier, they couldn't spread what they had seen or heard in the Heavenly Soldier.
Thus, these prodigies of the major races were like Lu Ming. They knew nothing about the Heavenly Palace.
Lu Ming also perked up his ears to listen.
"I can tell you now. Theoretically speaking, you need ten thousand merit points to become a third-class Heavenly Soldier. But since you've just taken the test, the requirements have been lowered. Five thousand is enough!
"So theoretically speaking, ten thousand to a hundred thousand merit points is a third-class Heavenly Soldier!
"Only when you accumulate more than a hundred thousand merit points is a second-class Heavenly Soldier. From a hundred thousand to a million merit points is a second-class Heavenly Soldier!
"From a million to ten million merit points is a first-class Heavenly Soldier. If you have more than ten million merit points, you're a Divine General!"
The Sky Official explained.
Everyone nodded. However, they had no idea what merit points were, and they didn't know how many fiends one had to kill to reach ten thousand merit points.
"The fiend spirit blood I've obtained should be enough. After all, I've killed more than a dozen God-Emperor fiends!"
"What I have should be enough!"
These thoughts flashed through the minds of some.
